In the heart of an ancient forest, under the canopy of starlit skies, Sage the Owl was hatched. Even as a fledgling, Sage’s deep, thoughtful eyes reflected an old soul’s wisdom. He was a keen observer, always the first to notice the changing of the leaves or the distant call of a friend in need.

As Sage grew, so did his love for learning and teaching. He became known throughout the forest for his wisdom, often sought after by animals facing their own unique challenges. Sage had a gift for listening and offering guidance that seemed to light the way forward.
